I am working in a private school in a classroom teaching kindergarten and young fives kindergarten students. Unfortunately, we have no curriculum for young fives. Any suggestions on where to find one for the state of Michigan? I've looked and only found sample expectations for 3-4 year olds. Is that what public schools use?

I have found this log to be extremely useful as before I plan a lesson, I quickly refer to it to see which of these generic activities I could use to quickly create a very stimulating and diverse lesson.
There are 100 activities that serve as a template to use for ANY lesson- Including primary school lessons - I have used them just as religiously during my intermittent projects in primary schools. The kids love them!. These activities range from the simplest activities such as gap-fills to more complex interactive rating and assessment exercises. There are some really fun activities!
I have consequently decided to produce a lesson-planning pack which fully explains how each activity can be used in a lesson. Alongside this, I have also created a compendium of 25 exemplary PowerPoint activities.
Quite honestly, this makes lesson planning infinitely easier and I am so glad I’ve done it. It occurred to me that every teacher would want a copy of this and thus, I’ll be honest, I thought I could make a little pocket money from this at the same time.
Thus, if you are interested in the pack of 100 activities and 25 PowerPoint activities, then could you please download them from this direct paypal link. [link removed]
(PS, there are loads of full history lessons at [link removed]!)

To save his life, he joins a gang and is forced to do things he abhors. When an opportunity to escape this deadly world is offered to him, he accepts gladly. A football scholarship to a small rural Kentucky college could be his ticket out and a life free of violence and fear. But will his gang let him go, and worse, when they find out he lied to them to break away, will they retaliate? Find out in my new ebook release at [link removed].

I live in a small city and today I called inquiring about the pre-k class in public school and I was told that the class is a combo class where there are four children with developmental or learning delays with 4 other kids which don't have delays. I don't want to sound ignorant but is this normal for pre- k?
I have taught kindergarten for 13 years, and next year I will be teaching a 2-3 multiage class. I'm very, very nervous! I don't have any materials, I have no idea what to use as a classroom management system at this age, I don't know that age level at all, I don't know the curriculum at either level, I don't know how I'm going to teach Everyday Mat...See MoreI have taught kindergarten for 13 years, and next year I will be teaching a 2-3 multiage class. I'm very, very nervous! I don't have any materials, I have no idea what to use as a classroom management system at this age, I don't know that age level at all, I don't know the curriculum at either level, I don't know how I'm going to teach Everyday Math for two grades at once...
But, I'm also excited. I like the idea of taking kids where they are and moving them forward. My principal is being very supportive about trying to find resources for me, and about letting me have some input into how the class is set up. Do any of you have any ideas or suggestions as far as class placement? I know I don't want all high 2nd and low 3rd or my 2nd graders will surpass my 3rd graders. Is it best to have high, middle, low of both grades? Gifted kids? Special ed. kids?
Any pointers or things I should ask for going into this?
Thanks so much for any help!
Hello Everyone! Please help! I am conducting a survey for current and former special education teachers to complete my MA in special education. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this short survey-your input is valuable! Thank you in advance:) [link removed]

I may be switching from teaching Prekindergarten to Kindergarten next year. In an interview, what are some questions that are likely to be asked? What are some things I should know about that would be very important in an interview?

Kieran, if you're going to have about 10 or 11 kids in your class, don't worry about different skill levels. A classroom in the country with just 10,11,12 kids per class - your class will be a community and stress that as a pleasant theme. You are all on a journey together - use that word too. Tell them they all...See More
